As another posted stated, they should have started small: 1 yr, 10yrs, then maybe a 1000. Iterating each time with a better design.
Also, dump the steel. You need something more inert.
- IshKebab 3y agoIt's art. Doesn't really need to work. But yeah I would be more impressive art if it at least appeared like it could work.
- nuccy 3y agoArt may be useful (or at least usable and realistic), e.g. imagine providing instructions how to get the photo from that camera for (hopefully) people in 1000 years, or even describe what that cilinder on a pole is in the first place. Science experiments demonstrating discoveries of the past centuries (magnetism, electricity, radio) are a kind long-term useful art.
- yreg 3y agoI'm not sure I like this kind of pretend art. Surely many people will believe that it is a serious project that's intended to work. I visited Expo once and it was full of this "pretend stuff" and it was unsettling how it mislead many people. But, it's ok, I'm certainly not saying it's bad art just because I'm on fence about it.
- peterangular 3y agoArt is subjective so everyone's entitled to their takes on it. Personally, I don't like when art makes me contemplate the delta between _intended ideals_ vs. actual execution. Especially for this piece... it's just fake. "We made a camera that's going to take a 1,000 year exposure!" - and it's like... maaaan. No, no you didn't - and it's unethical to market that you did.
